Whatever Works


sorabji.com: Last movie you saw: Whatever Works

    Ok, so Woody Allen gets our attention each and everytime, despite his last 3 or 4 movies being duds.

    Moreover, Woody Allen gets our attention when Larry David & Michael McKeaan are in the cast.

    However we left about halfway through this klunker.

    Its the same woody allen movie we've seen in the last 5 years. You just ache for more Larry David and less woody.

    The lead actress Evan rachael wood over acts and annoys the fuck out of you. Clearly woody was attracted to her which is why she got the part. Its that obvious. Its that gross.

    What is ironic is woody's autoibiographical characters are always self-deprecating and self-loathing characters yet in recent years there is this dynamic of attraction in his movies between the old man character (woody) and the younger girl which is just not realistic and totally delusion. He can see the world in such clear stark terms every other way but when it comes to women he is completely delusional

    Jeez, I can't even remember the last Woody Allen movie I saw. It must have been the one with Mira Sorvino. I remember it always used to be an event when a new Woody Allen movie came out. I always meant to go see him play clarinet too, but never have.

    The last Woody Allen movie I saw was Hannah and Her Sisters and I thought it sucked.Come to think of it,I think Woody Allen sucks and I think he's a perve,but that's just me.
    Last movie I saw was The Hangover and it was hilarious.
    The next movie I want to see is Outrage and it's only showing at one theater in town,and the new Harry Potter movie that comes out next week.

By J on Sunday, July 12, 2009 - 04:12 pm:

    But yes I can get a hold of her,what's your e-mail?


By Danielssss on Sunday, July 12, 2009 - 04:18 pm:

    I got married June 20 yes. Being married is fine though it has been a long time since i was... My email addy is on the spread sheet of doom. It's been ages since I've talked with hCZ. if you can't get to the spreadsheet, try betnomore followed by the normal gmail and dot com stuff. I was just wondering how she is is, where she landed etc. Lost track entirely.

    Danielssss, congrat on your marriage!

    gracias. Hey J, if you emailed me I din't get.

    I don't have access to the spreadsheet of doom.Czarina was just out here last April with her youmgest daughter,her mom is giving her some major grief,She's still in swampland working and racing her horses.She and her sister finally made peace after all these years.I know she's been stressed.


By Danielsssss on Thursday, July 16, 2009 - 01:15 pm:

    hey thanks, my email is buried above in that post to avoid bots. Please tell her hello from me, and give her email addy. If she wants to write, then she can.

    I get to swampland a couple times a year. But i like Arizona and Florida beaches better. Fewer reptiles. Are you out in Portland area, I think?

    I am teaching in August in AlbNM and then Leavenworth WA, San Fran CA, and Tucson AZ in september.

    Hope all is well with you and thanks for the willingness to contact CZ. Tell her to get back here. Sorabjiland is good stress reduction, better than xanex most days.

    Well, it wasn't really designed as a Sorabji address book, but rather as an organizing tool for a mail exchange. I guess we could start an address book type thing, though, if people wanted.

    Im actually in Arizona and I wish I was anywhere but here,it's soo hot.I've been trying to get cz to come back to sorabji,her husband is home full time now so that may explain it.I've left her a message a few day's ago because Brucifer's mother is wanting to give his birds away,and I thought she might want them.
